Children's Permanency Partnership

Children's Permanency Partnership (CPP) endeavors to provide permanency and safety for children through our foster care, case management, resource development and adoption services. Since its inception in 2005, the Children’s Permanency Partnership (CPP) has played a crucial role in serving the foster care needs of St. Charles and Jefferson County. By expanding its services to Washington County in

2020, CPP has broadened its reach to ensure that even more children and families in the foster care system receive the support they need. CPP’s presence in these regions has been instrumental in addressing the unique challenges faced by children in foster care, such as the scarcity of permanent placements and the complex needs of families in crisis. CPP effectively accomplishes its mission of providing permanent placements through a combination of strategic partnerships, evidence-based practices, and community engagement. By collaborating with local agencies, social workers, and the judicial system, CPP works to streamline the process of the alternative care system for all families. This includes working closely with biological families to facilitate reunification whenever possible, as well as identifying and preparing adoptive families or guardians. Moreover, CPP is deeply committed to supporting both children and families throughout the process. This holistic approach ensures that families have the resources they need to maintain stability and provide a nurturing environment. By remaining actively involved with families after placement, CPP helps to prevent re-entry into the foster care system, thereby achieving its goal of creating lasting, positive outcomes for children in the regions it serves.

Epworth is hosting a Back-to-School Celebration, and we need your help making sure each young person feels prepared, confident, and encouraged as they head into a new school year!

We are collecting school supplies, personal care items, and often-overlooked essentials like headphones, USB drives, scientific calculators, deodorant, and travel-size toiletries.

You can support youth by hosting an in-kind drive or donating items directly to Epworth. To get involved, please contact Gretchen Vincent Smith at [email protected].

Thank you for helping youth start the school year with the tools, care, and confidence they deserve!

☀️ OUT & ABOUT WITH CHILDREN’S PERMANENCY PARTNERSHIP! ☀️

What a summer it has been! 💙

This summer, Children’s Permanency Partnership and our partners have been out in the community, bringing resources, making connections and sharing the message about the importance of foster care.

From community events and resource fairs to opportunities to connect with families and other community partners, we’ve loved being out there — meeting people, answering questions, sharing hope and helping more people understand how they can make a difference in the life of a child.

Every conversation is an opportunity to spread Foster Love. Foster Hope. Foster Care. Every connection can help a child and family move toward a brighter future.

We’re grateful for the amazing communities we serve and for the partners who continue to work alongside us to support children and families. Together, we’re Building Brighter Futures! 💙

Meet Olivia Woods, Placement Finding Specialist with Children’s Permanency Partnership! 💙

As a Placement Finding Specialist, Olivia helps identify homes for children who are in need of a placement. She has built relationships with agencies across the region to help find the best possible fit for each child, connecting them with homes where they can feel safe, supported and cared for.

Olivia joined Children’s Permanency Partnership in 2021 as a Foster Care Case Manager before transitioning to Placement Finding in May 2025 when her family grew. In her current role, she continues to make a meaningful difference for children and families by helping ensure children find the right placement to meet their individual needs.

Outside of work, Olivia enjoys spending time with her family and cheering on her three children at their activities — with another little one joining the family soon! She also enjoys going on hikes and walks with their dogs, Rocko and Bean, and playing card games. And when she gets some rare quiet time to herself, Olivia loves sitting down with a good romance novel. 📚❤️

We’re grateful to have Olivia as part of the Children’s Permanency Partnership team as we work together to build brighter futures for children and youth!
